Ok, there must be something specific to qemu, can you also try with it?

Works for me, thank you! I realized that I had this patch for 3.3 
already, but not in 3.7. This means that Realview EB has been broken 
since 3.3-rc and specifically commit 34ae6c96 (ARM: 7298/1: realview: 
fix mapping of MPCore private memory region).
